"We are such stuff as dreams are made of; and our little life is rounded with sleep", Shakespeare once wrote. Dreams are as much part of our (little) lives as everything else we encounter, and they occupy about at least 25% of our time. For The Dream Explanatorium this is reason enough to present this no nonsense information and entertainment product to internet users.
Everybody dreams. It is a normal and necessary function of the body. So if you think you don't dream you probably just don't remember. Perhaps, the most prominent reason why people forget their dreams is that they don't want to remember. And that's exactly where The Dream Explanatorium comes in!!!

freud & dreams |
People have always had an interest in dreams. The Babylonians, 5000 years B. C., had a Goddess of Dreams, Mamu, and a book for interpreting dreams. The Egyptians, in 3000 B.C., also had a God of Dreams, Serpis, and famous people, like Joseph from the bible, were dream interpreters. They even had self-help techniques for inducing certain dreams. They thought, as we do now, that dreams were able to satisfy some of our psychological needs and could change our mood.
